Using Variable Graduated Neutral Density Filter System with the Leica Digilux 2

I recently acquired a mint used Leica Digilux 2 to compliment my Panasonic Lumix LC1 (boy do I feel lucky!).

 

I do a lot of landscape photography and want to explore the use of "variable graduated neutral density filter systems" with the Digilux 2 and Lumix LC1.

 

Has anyone had any experience with this technique? Can you recommend some filter systems (LEE, Heliopan, B+W) that can be used on the 69 mm filter size of the D2 and the LC1.

 

I am particularly impressed by the following as I have a polarizer from Heliopan for my LC1:

 

I have the 69mm - 77 mm Leica D2 adapter:

I am constantly amazed how good the D2 and LC1 perform - even after so many years! I almost always grab the LC1 camera when I head out outside for a day of photo shooting.

 

Thanks again for any and all input and recommendations

 

John
